Armed robbery reported at Burger King in Geddes

Update: Geddes, NY -- Onondaga County sheriff's deputies are looking for a masked gunman who forced six people into the freezer at a Burger King in Geddes tonight, then took money from a cash register and safe.

No one was injured in the robbery, which was reported just before 10 p.m., Deputy William Gabriel said.

Five employees and a customer were in the restaurant at 3332 W. Genesee St. when a man wearing a black ski mask and white hooded sweatshirt entered, Gabriel said. The man demanded cash, showed a handgun and forced the victims into the freezer.

The robber then took an undisclosed amount of money from the cash register and safe before leaving out a back door, Gabriel said.

The six victims waited until they thought the gunman was gone -- Gabriel said he didn't know how long that was -- before opening the door and escaping.

Deputies blocked access to the restaurant and were interviewing witnesses inside late tonight.
